Didn't know u were canadian until I watch this vedio .I think best canadian stock ibkr youtuber .

I completely agree that there should be a separate colour for after hours on the charts. If there isn't a way to show it I hope IB addresses this in the future.

This video is gold for anyone starting with IB TWS!

I just made the move from Questrade to IBKR and your video is helping me a great deal. Thank you for this - you're a real one!

Thanks for the info. I was having problems with Trader Workstation locking up on my 32GB Memory system. It was set to 768MB by default. I upped it to 2048, no muss no fuss about the number, windows will handle it. Also, highlighting the high and low on the chart in green and red is fantastic! Thanks for the hints. There are so many options in TWS, it is difficult to navigate them all. Good info.

Just opened an account with IB, and had to watch this very helpful video again to set mine up, thanks mate.

Thanks for this well made and informative video! I am struggling to get familiar with this platform and most the other tutorials I’ve seen were more useless than the excessive amount of settings that are customizable. This software seriously needs a makeover to match this century... you are Very helpful!

Most helpful 19:35sec... So many great features/functions now added to my trading screens that I probably would never have bothered looking into unless I came across this vid! So many thanks... (Still having issues adding green and red backgrounds to my ticker lists though....even after following a TWS Color Change vid - Aaarrgghh!) :-)

love you brother! I actually commented on every video of yours need the heart!!!

Thanks for this! I downloaded TWS over a month ago but could never configure it to my satisfaction. Consequently I'm still trading on a bank-based platform charging huge commissions for frequent, small-value trades.

I new in trading, and thanks a lot for your work and time. Greatly appreciated.

Truly helpful settings very well articulated with a very efficient delivery pace. The memory allocation setting info tops all of the others in my view. So much pain saved, and the annoying refreshing update status bar of the book trader is a reliever too. Great tutorial. Thank you so much! I appreciate it.

I kinda stumbled over a way to separate premarket and/or days etc without to much trouble. In any Charts Window go to ‘Edit’ and select ‘Vertical Line’ and drag it to wherever you want a division. From there you can drag it forward every new session. You can have more than one also. .

Thank you for all of your great content. I have been using TWS for years, and never tried the advanced stuff. You move fast, but if I watch multiple time, I pick up a lot of great info!!!! I do believe it will help me a great deal in my trading journey. Sorry you are experiencing content burnout, just know you helped at least one stubborn old man, to use the program to its ability. Thanks so much!!

I wasn't know Loki was a Trader !!! Thanks for your videos by the way !!

At the beginning I thought who is speaking but then ya ya sounds good and very clear thanks

Thanks man. It's sad that IB themselves can't be bothered to update their outdated video tutorials, or to do one as good as yours. I mean, it's really got some good features. You'd think they'd do more to help users out!

Thanks from one Canadian to another. Just started trading S&P 500 Micro E-minis

Line grab sensitivity was a life saver, thank you so much! Who can click a 1 pixel line?!

Right from the first suggestion you made (setting the RAM used by TWS) this has improved my TWS experience. Thanks so much :-)

Can I ask how to do two things: 1) Set a trailing stop loss 2) How come sometimes it takes forever to load info on the options chain, or not at all?

Thanks for this amazing tutorial!

Thanks for the video. You mentioned you found TWS slow. I was finding it really really laggy and slow, then I noticed an advanced option that lets you use the last stable version. It is now much much smoother. At the login screen to TWS click more options and then you have options for stable, latest (default) and beta

This is a great video. TWS is quite extensive in terms of customization possibilities. It's useful to see what others are doing.

hello from Hong Kong, just want to say thanks for the tutorial, really useful!

This was helpful. I trade futures on IB but they quoted are horrendous and I’m often trading in the dark. Still, this video will help me fix a couple irritants. Thanks again!

Thank You I don't see anyone else showing the issues with IBKR WS... AAA +++

That was really really really helpful...Lots of little things I would not have known...thank you for making the video!!!!

Hi man, as a beginner in TWS I find your videos a relief for frustration! Could you share your chart layouts and templates?

this video was great, hugely appreciate it!

Great! TWS, menu settings, thanks so much for the intro and your input and clear comments to it

Excellent content, thanks! This solved my problem of not being able to scroll in/out with the mouse wheel. Saved me so much time trialling various settings. And yeah, I wished the post/pre market regions had a different coloured background. Cheers.

Appreciate the tutorial! Been using it only at execution level and missed a lot of opportunities because i wasn't fast enough. Thanks!

Nice job. You covered it from a traders point of view. Thanks.

Thanks, just getting started with Trader Workstation, this is was helpful. Thanks

Absolutely Helpful - greetings from Germany

Newby here. Thanks for all the info.

Thanks for the video! IBKR is very professional tool and complex as well. Its easier and helpful to learn from somone who has done it and knows what works and waht doesn't. Thanks

Yes I agree @ 15:00, I came to this video thinking I was going to find gold on Being able to highlight the premarket section light gray. I would love this feature and I hope they can integrate this feature soon for an update version. I'm sure everyone would love to see the feature as well. Please Interactive Brokers can you consider this for us it will be life changing.

Awesome video. Thank you for showing your setup!

I put my mem alloc to 12000 MB ;) Runs pretty good with that

One of the best video for setting the TWS !! I don't if someone can help me on one particular setting: one month ago i check the box " don't show this window again" on the windows preview order when you place an order. Well now I would like to restore that window BUT I can not find on configuration the setting. Any suggestions ?

Thank you for putting this together - extremely useful content! Sorted out a few things that were really bugging me. Much appreciated.

Thanks, this short video is one of the best about TWS, simple, short and to the point 👍

very thorough! thank you

Thank you! Very important and detailed.

very helpfull thanks! and hola from Mexico! 😃

So good very helpful info. One thing I have been hunting for and can't find anywhere is how do you get your stop and take profit orders to show up on the chart?

Thank you so much for this video as a beginner this really helped me get set up

Thank you so much for this video! It was very helpful. Any videos on IB are highly appreciated

fantastic video straight forward

your IB videos are ace mate...they should offer you free market data at bear minimum for your efforts lol

Thanks for the video, lots of good tips for new users like me.

Thanks alot for the valuable insight!

Many Thanks, it was very helpful 🙂

Good information, I am a newbie in US market , I reside in Vancouver. I do have experience with Indian stock market. Learning a lot from ur videos. Keep it up. Maybe u can come up with a series for beginner in a structured format.

Great video, thanks! Does anyone know if IB has a halt indicator, some kind of highlight on the Level 2 that tells you if the stock is close to being halted due to volatility?

Very informative series - I would prefer that you reduced your camera box down to about 1.5" though. This is a huge distraction. Your camera box is almost always in the way. Another tip. Pointing at your monitor is not helpful. We can only see your mouse not what you are pointing at.

This is a very nice and informative video. Please make a video on the Advance Chart of TWS-Trading View Chart.

Thank you, very helpful video!!

Thanku so much for this video it is really helpful God bless you

The best video so IB setup, Thanks Verrillo. Shoutout from Tdot.

thanks so much this video is gold!

The memory options for think or swim , when you click on the settings icon on the log in box are as follows: There are two slots a left and a right. I think the left side is for bits as it is divisible by 32. But the right side appears to be ram. and the options are 768 , 1536, 3072 , 6144, 12288, 13107. It looks like for ram you continually double the first number, and that the first number for think or swim is the same number as interactive brokers www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/tws/twsguide.htm#usersguidebook/priceriskanalytics/custommemory.htm?Highlight=memory%20allocation Therefore; you would have to double, triple, quadruple, etc. the first memory setting given in the interactive broker platform. Cheers.

Thank you for the tutorial. Much appreciated. Also can you please show more about setting up hot key and 1 click BUY/SELL for Scalpers (in and out quickly)?

Thanks so much for sharing! Which key do you press when you adjust the size increment real quick (from the video 18:10) ?

Lol mate that damn line grab sensitivity - FFS I hate TWS for little things like that - why can't IB just engineer their software so that it just works like every other platform on the market- they have to over-engineer it and set the defaults to 'annoying' :) Thanks for the tips bro. I hope someday that TWS gets a revamp and that IB does at least some kind of UAT testing to ensure their offering isn't horrible.

I would have probably given up on traderworkstation! if it wasn't for your videos.

Great tutorial, thank you. Is this platform generally more suited to stock trading rather than forex ?

Great video 👍🏼.. IB takes a little getting used to I was charting on tos and executing on IB now I just do everything on IB

Always great!

Thank you very much for the video! Great and very helpful for a new user to the TWS. Greetings from germany!

Hey nice video, been looking doing the same for some folks here but in french so you I'm happy to see some of your tought about that. Great work !

Oh man THANK YOU....would have had no idea I needed to actually manually increase memory allocation....sheesh.

This is great, thank you for sharing. By the way, is there a way to make your paper trading account mimic all of your settings and layout of the real account without having to make all customizations twice? It is so annoying to mirror everything.

Awesome, just switched to IB and this really helped.

Thank you for making this video. Chart settings for display and presets very useful. Would you know if it's possible to display the clock in charts?

Verrillo thanks for your videos on IBK plattform i am new with then and you are very helpful

Great stuff. Is there a way to move the chart to the left so there's room for trendline ?

Hey, thanks for the videos on TWS. When laying down horizontal trend lines, is there a way type in the level that you want the horizontal line displayed at? It seems like the only way to adjust is it via mouse drag.

Wow! Thanks for all these useful hints on TWS, You saved my life :) Could You please advise about paid data subscription from IB, what data I need for stock day and swing trading. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

VERY HELPFUL VIDEO. THANKS MATE!

just discovered your channel - awesome stuff. Clearly I don't know what I don't know.... will have to binge watch your vids. (Subscribed). I am new to tws and relatively new to options trading. But I am a bit confused about setting a stop loss when selling a credit spread. If I wanted to set a stop loss to exit a position when the option price rises to 3x the net credit received, how would i go about this if (i) the position is already on, or (ii) i place the stop loss at the time of the placing the trade order? TWS shows the credit spread as a "buy" order with a negative price (credit). If the net credit is reflected as -2.00, would I set the stop loss (market) at -6 or +4.00??....would i set the stop loss as a sell order on the position?...I called IB today and they spun my head around. Thanks!!

Great video; love to see different layouts. Thanks for sharing the tip and keep up with these nice videos. This is a gem of a channel. Let’s get them winners 💪

Thank you for your useful video Verrilo, DO you know how to remove the grid lines on the chart?

Appreciate all the info you have provided. I have one question. Does TWS have the feature to show past filled orders on the chart? Such as a green up arrow for longs and red down arrow for shorts?

Thank you for your insight !

Hi Chris, do you still use the 2048 MB allocation memory? I find the TWS works really nice and fast for some minutes using 2048. However, after some time using it and the more i switch between few stocks, it becomes slower and slower to the point it can´t be used, like when a videogame starts stuttering really bad with lets say 10-15 fps..So i have to reopen TWS and then it starts working good again if i don´t switch between stocks that much.. I only have 2 charts, 2 level 2, 2 times and sales and 2 small watchlists in total counting all my TWS tabs, which is not that much. Has this happened to you? IBKR can´t address the issue as always....I have a new high end PC with fresh Windows install so pretty sure its not my hardware at fault. Any help would be highly appreciated man. Cheers!!

At the 18 minute mark of the video, what key were you hitting to increase the order size? Was it just the Enter key?

Thanks, very useful video

amazing video. A couple of questions regarding setting up TWS. Is there a way to display only the put side of the option chain? And hopefully only/mostly the out of money part?

Great video man! I was super confused about some stuff in IB and this clears it up. Another question! What market data do you need to show all level 2 data?

memory doesn't solve lagging, i have 6gb allocated, same as 2 gb. Its just a bulky software.

Thanks for this video!

I am using 4096MB at the moment and it runs smooth. 4096 is actually 4GB and therefore, it should leave 12GB of your 16GB for everything else.

Great vid, thanks bruh.

I use TOS and it seems you have to change similar settings for our styles of trading.

Great upload - very helpful

Memory allocation won't really help run the program faster. It just lets it use more of the RAM once it's filled. I set mine to 16 GB since my system had 64GB RAM, but it doesn't run it any faster than when it was at default settings.

BEST IFN VIDEO FOR IBKR they should buy the video off you and put it as their main demo man 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂
